THEY SAID IT“A good win tonight. We came in and did our job. We took care of business and got the win we should have got
and needed.”—Dwyane Wade

“It is good; it’s great. UD feels like for himself he hasn’t lived up to what he is
capable of doing, especially with his outside shot. He mixed it up tonight, he had a drive, he got to the free
throw line, had a couple dunks, set some pick-and-rolls and then he had a few
jumpers. The little mix helped us
out a lot tonight.”—LeBron James on Udonis Haslem

“It was very emotional. D-Wade brought it up and we all thought it would be the best
thing to do. Not taking anything
for granted, knowing we have our family still. Very emotional time with that moment of silence and to have
our kids out there was great.”—James on the Heat's players standing in a moment of silence with their children in remembrance of the victims and their families of the shooting in Connecticut
